Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide association scan of tag SNPs identifies a susceptibility variant for colorectal cancer at 8q24.21.

TL;DR: These data show that common, low-penetrance susceptibility alleles predispose to colorectal neoplasia, and suggest that susceptibility to CRC is mediated through development of adenomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic prognostic and predictive markers in colorectal cancer.
Axel Walther,Elaine C. Johnstone,Charles Swanton,Charles Swanton,Rachel Midgley,Ian Tomlinson,David J. Kerr,David J. Kerr +7 more
TL;DR: There has been an explosive increase in the number of markers thought to be associated with prognosis and treatment outcome in this disease, and this Review attempts to summarize the sometimes confusing findings, and critically assess those markers already in the public domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of ANKK1: a novel kinase gene closely linked to DRD2 on chromosome band 11q23.1.
TL;DR: The DRD2 Taq1A RFLP is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes an amino acid substitution within the 11th ankyrin repeat of ANKK1 (p.Glu713Lys), which, while unlikely to affect structural integrity, may affect substrate‐binding specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies identifies susceptibility loci for colorectal cancer at 1q41, 3q26.2, 12q13.13 and 20q13.33

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of three GWAS from the UK provides evidence that additional CRC-associated variants of similar effect size remain to be discovered and identifies four new CRC risk loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic basis for smoking behavior: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The evidence for an effect of specific genes was modest, however, and evidence indicated substantial between-study heterogeneity in most cases, with the exception of the effects of the 5HTT and CYP2A6 genes on smoking cessation.
